I am trying to get the concept behind Finnish (did someone say logic?  ), but manipulating my brain to be able to do so will probably keep me occupied the rest of my life - with much effort I might be able to say 'perkele' on my death bed  |
In Central Finland Central Hospital there is one male nurse who has a bit strange accent in his otherwise clear finnish. He was from Germany and his excuse for moving to Finland and learning finnish was "Naiset". I let you to translate that and figure out what you could do to improve your finnish skills.

It doesn't matter if you steal ***8364;20.00 or ***8364;2,000,000.00 punishment is essentially same but if you commit tax fraud you are the enemy of society #1.
There is one gentleman in finnish prison system who is serving his third life sentence for murder. He killed one person and got his first life sentence. After about 15 years in prison he got paroled. Within a month he was again arrested and convicted of murder. Another about 15 years goes on and he gets paroled again and within one WEEK police again arrest him for murder. Now he is serving his third so called "life sentence" and is "eligible" for customary parole within 10 years.
It will be interesting to see to see what will happen next time...
